About
Fresh Pacific Flavors in the Heart of Lanai
Perched with a sweeping view of the Pacific, Malibu Farm Restaurant & Bar brings a bright, Californian-inspired aesthetic to the rugged beauty of Lanai City. The space leans into a clean, minimalist design, relying on the natural light flooding through floor-to-ceiling windows to set the mood rather than heavy decor. You will find yourself listening to the clinking of glasses over the soft, rhythmic breeze coming off the island’s coast.
Farm-to-Table Philosophy
The kitchen operates with a focus on simplicity and freshness, drawing heavily from the local bounty. Their menu centers on crowd-pleasers like the vegan coconut tofu and the signature grass-fed beef burgers that prioritize farm-fresh produce over complex, heavy sauces. It is an ideal spot for those who appreciate ingredients that are treated with restraint, allowing the natural quality of the greens and proteins to stand front and center.
A Local Rhythms Note
The service moves at the speed of the island, which is perfect for a leisurely lunch or a sunset cocktail, though those looking for a rapid business meal might find the pace delightfully laid back. Parking in the surrounding Lanai City area can be sparse during peak tourism hours, so arriving a few minutes early to stroll through the charming streets before your reservation is a smart move. Whether you are grabbing a green juice after a morning hike or settling in for a long dinner as the sky turns indigo, the atmosphere captures a sophisticated yet grounded slice of Hawaiian life.

We had Malibu Farm as our poolside snack and it was okay. We did chips, salsa, and guac: the chips were stale, but the portions were a good size. Your basic resort pool food. *I hear the fish sandwich is delicious, and the Caesar salad looked good. The cocktails are tasty.

Great menu and full service bar. Whether at the pool or just soaking up the views and warm sun you can’t go wrong when ordering. My highlight was the Ginger Snap Ice Cream Sandwich. So Good!

Since the Resort is really the only possible Good food in close proximity, we were hoping to get a nice meal. After being dropped off by the local tour guide, who thought the full service restaurant at the resort supported everyone, we found that the Malibu Farm only Caters to hotel guests. When we went there to grab a nice meal, the hostess asked if we were hotel guest, and being honest we said no, they then rejected our request to eat. The restaurant had only 2 tables occupied at that time, so it seems this Resort only Caters to the Guests and Not the Public! This is a shame because being a person on vacation in Hawaii, a $200 lunch is expected. Their Loss, my savings. So if your on Lanai for the day, stay far away from the 4 Seasons Resort for Food if you are Not a Guest there. I've always loved the quality of food and Chef outputs, but it seems the Four Seasons on Lanai, that is Not the case. This occurred Sept 24th, 2024. Around 11:45am. Darin

We ate breakfast here several days on our vacation and I had the lobster toast which was amazing!! The service is pretty slow but friendly. I think they only have enough servers to accommodate guests so they do turn people away if you are not staying here. I'm just sharing that because I have read various travel guides suggesting taking the ferry from Maui just for the day and having lunch at the Four Seasons but it seems that you must be a guest now. The setting is very pretty with breathtaking views of the most gorgeous gardens/pool and ocean in the distance. It was like being in a dream.

Came right when they opened at 11, and it was a great, light lunch. We ordered the delicious burrata, which came with bread upon request. Delicious, light lunch

My friend brought me here for lunch and all I can say is WOW! From the views of the oceans, the friendly staff and gorgeous landscape. The food is phenomenal and so fresh. From the starter, main dish unto desert was divine. The waitress was attentive, nice and gave wonderful suggestions to try that didn't disappoint. I will rate this place 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE THAT VALUE QUALITY, SERENITY AND HAVE UPSCALE TASTE.

I recently had a baffling experience at a restaurant that I cannot, in good conscience, recommend to anyone. The establishment I am referring to is so exclusive that it is seemingly invisible to the general public. With no signs or indications of its existence, it's safe to say that this restaurant likes to play hard to get. Unfortunately, my recent visit left me feeling frustrated and confused. Having dined at this restaurant in the past, I expected a similar experience this time around. However, the "manager" made it clear that access to the restaurant is granted on a whim. He stated that sometimes it's allowed, and other times it's not. Seriously, who runs a restaurant like that? It was like trying to unravel a riddle without a hint of logic. In an attempt to make sense of the situation, my companions and I inquired whether we could call ahead to secure a reservation or to check if the restaurant was open. To our dismay, the manager flatly denied our request. How can a supposedly reputable establishment have such a bizarre policy? It seemed that common courtesy and basic customer service were completely alien concepts to them. Adding to our frustration, the staff members were just as clueless as we were regarding the sudden changes in expectations. They couldn't provide any coherent explanation or shed light on why the restaurant operated in such a peculiar manner. It felt like we were trapped in an enigma, desperately seeking answers that were never to be found. Perhaps the most disheartening part of the experience was the nagging feeling of being profiled. The lack of transparency, combined with the inconsistent policies, left us wondering if our presence was unwanted or if we simply didn't fit the elusive criteria to be deemed "worthy" of dining there. It's an unpleasant thought, and one that shouldn't be associated with any establishment claiming to serve the public. All in all, my visit to this undisclosed restaurant was a complete disappointment. The lack of signage, the selective policies, and the complete absence of clear communication left me feeling frustrated and disheartened.

This October, 2019, my wife and set out to find the best Mai Tai on Maui/Lanai. We day tripped over to Lana'i and tasted Mai Tais at Malibu Farm Restaurant & Bar. This Mai Tai is the real deal, and our #1 Mai Tai in Maui/Lana. The two Mai Tais we had tasted were true to Trader Vic’s classic recipe as it is to be enjoyed. Pineapple wedge, umbrella, but no cherry. The view of Hulopoe Bay is terrific. $17 Our overall Maui Mai Tai Ranking, October, 2019 was: 1 Malibu Farm Restaurant & Bar, Four Seasons Lanai, Manele Bay 2 Kimo’s, Lahaina 3 Royal Lahaina Luau 4 Tiki Lounge, Kihei 5 Mama’s Fish House, Paia 6 Nalu’s, Kihei 7 Monkeypod Kitchen, Wailea and Kaanapali. 8 Threes Bar and Grill, Kihei 9 Ohana Seafood, Kihei
